James Nevin McHolme born Edinburgh 1881
« on: Wednesday 18 November 15 13:45 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to locate a photo of James Nevin McHolme. He was born in Midlothian in 1881. On the 1901 census he lived in Hamilton and was a watchmaker and jeweller. In 1906 he moved to Caslebar Co Mayo, Ireland, where he continued his profession until the outbreak of WW1. He joined the Connaught Rangers, and in 1915 was killed in action in Gallipoli. I have traced his obituary in the local paper, but unfortunately there wasn't a photo to go with it. If anyone can help or knows of a McHolme family in that area, I would love to know. James wasn't married or had children. He did have a sister, Grace born 1880? Many thanks.
